Sophia Huntington came to Boston, Mass., to be educated, about
1812, making her home with the family of her uncle Noah Doggett.

After completing her education she returned to Greensboro', where
she married, in 1822, Dr. Thomas Wright.

About the year 1823 Dr. and Mrs. Wright traveled in a two-horse
spring wagon, accompanied by their baggage team and driver, from
Greensboro', Vt., to Reading, near Cincinnati, Ohio. Subsequently
they removed to Windham, Ohio, then back to Reading; thence
again to Windham, soon after which they returned to southern Ohio,
settling in Carthage. About the year 1849, Dr. Wright retired from
his professional practice, and they planned and built for themselves a
residence upon a beautiful tract of thirty-eight acres of land (then
seven miles from Cincinnati), which they had long held for that
purpose, called Ingleside, where they both permanently resided to the
time of their death. Mrs. Wright was a lady of care, culture, and
intellectual endowments, of whom it was said by one of the most
eminent scholars and divines of the age, " She is the best educated
and most intelligent lady I have seen in America." To her aid and
superior wisdom her husband attributed much of his financial and
professional success in life ; and although a most devoted wife
and mother, her influence for good in all relating to the improvement
of the human race was widely felt and recognized by a large circle of
acquaintances.
